Rock Your Wedding with Triple J Hottest 100

When you imagine planning a wedding, you imagine all of the stress that goes along with it. Who is going to sit where, how much is it all going to cost, what are you going to wear, and how on earth are you going to manage 12 different dietary requirements?

Whilst some sources of stress are obvious, others, not so much. Music is one factor that seems like it will be an easy choice - that is, until it comes to actually choosing your songs. 

While it may seem like an easy enough task, choosing the right songs for your wedding can be one of the most difficult decisions to make. From live music to DJ entertainment, there are so many different options to choose from. Just as your choice of outfit will forever be remembered in photographs and videos, your music choices will forever be etched into your memories. 

Wedding Music Memories

Will your family remember a beautiful first dance that brought a tear to their eyes, or the look of horror among guests as you dance to The Angels  ‘Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again’? (yes, this really happened). 

Walking down the aisle, you want something that is memorable, yet not too ‘out there’. A song that has not been used a thousand times (Ed Sheeran, we’re looking at you), and definitely not a song that has secret break-up messages. For that first dance, something beautiful and relevant, but fun and uplifting. 

What better place to look for inspiration than music aficionados, Triple J? At Majestic Wedding DJs, we are huge fans of Triple J, so we often put together Triple J Wedding DJ playlists! With the Triple J Hottest 100 playlists you can find all kinds of tracks, voted for by listeners worldwide. With the eclectic countdown full of different music styles, there will definitely be songs for all moments - from the walk down the aisle, to the first dance, and some dad dancing at the reception.

Wedding Music Inspiration

This year, Triple J outdid themselves - they gave us the Hottest 100 of the DECADE. So much to choose from! Here are our top three choices for Triple J wedding songs:

Ball Park Music: It’s Nice To Be Alive

A fun, up-beat song that will definitely get your guests on the dancefloor before the end of the track. Due to it’s sweary lyrics and anti-religion messages, this definitely isn’t the right choice for everyone. However, the message of the song is beautiful.

Don’t stress, that’s dumb,

I’m here and it’s nice to be alive

Chill out, it’s alright

Kiss me, it’s nice to be alive

Be here, be in the moment, and enjoy yourselves. You just got married! Right now is not the time to be focusing on the future, but basking in the moment. 

Lana Del Ray: Video Games

With it’s slow moving track, vintage vibe,  and the silky vocals of Lana, this is a beautiful song to dance too. In an interview with NME, Lana tells that when she was writing the lyrics, she was reflecting on the sweetness of sitting at home, watching her boyfriend (at the time) play video games. 

It's you, it's you, it's all for you

Everything I do

I tell you all the time

Heaven is a place on earth with you

Not all of the lyrics are suitable for everyone (Tell me all the things you want to do, I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?), let’s just hope that granny doesn’t catch on to that line!

Calvin Harris: Feel So Close

Perhaps one for the end of the night, when everyone is in the party mood, as this songs gets very upbeat, very quickly. But with lyrics as beautiful as these, who wouldn’t want this song at their wedding?

I feel so close to you right now

It's a force field

I wear my heart upon my sleeve, like a big deal

Your love pours down on me, surrounds me like a waterfall

And there's no stopping us right now

I feel so close to you right now

Let Calvin get you and your loved ones on the dance floor and get the party started!
